This is my review of my new Fujistu AH531 laptop and software that I have with it. I received it from Student Finance so cannot comment on the price of anything I review. Each topic will be in a new post.
Fujistu laptop:
Hardware Features
The features that this laptop has are similar to my Acer Aspire One. It has 3 USB ports however I also have a 4 port USB hub. It has the standard SD slots and also has a CD-R drive. It has 500GB of storage and 6GB (4GB and 2GB) of RAM.
It has a built in webcam which is clear but wont win any photography prizes. The screen is 15.6".
The keyboard is spill resistantand has an intergrated numberpad. The touchpad is very responsive but the buttons at the bottom of it are a bit stiff.
The machine weighs a lot more than a netbook but is about the same as any other laptop.
Speed and loading times
The initial startup speed is very quick, it only takes a few moments. Opening files and programs is smooth and the response is instantanious.
When saving files or copying them, the rate of data transfer is a lot quicker than my netbook. It takes about 1 minute to copy about 3GB of data from an external device.
Even when there are multiple tasks and programs open, you can still copy 3GB of data, watch a video online, transfer 2GB of data to a program and have a game open with only a slight delay when using the internet.
Visuals and sounds
When viewing videos, the rate of play is very smooth. There is no jumping or frame rates dropped and it will play both 1080p at 30fps and 720p at 60fps very smoothly.
When viewing videos online, the clarity is crystal clear. Whereas my netbook could only play 420p, I can now watch 720p and 1080p in HD and enjoy the video.
The speakers are very loud but sounds are not as clear as you would like them. The laptop has a mixture of sounds to tell you when something is loaded, when there is an error, etc but the actual clarity of sounds in videos is not as good as it could have been.
Conclusion
I think that this is a very good laptop and connot complain really as I got it for free. The pro's are that the pictures are clear and everything runs very smoothly, and con's are that the speakers are not so good and when the computer enters 'Hibernation mode', it turns off and you loose your data.
I would suggest it to people who are looking for a laptop in the middle of the market.
